HAIR REMOVAL<br />
Being fuzz free on the big day is a<br />
must for most brides, but the hassle of<br />
shaving, especially on honeymoon, is a<br />
bore. More permanent solutions are a<br />
great idea.<br />
If you're fed up of constant trips to be<br />
waxed, home IPL kits are a dream. Silk'n<br />
build on the world-renowned HPL<br />
technology with Galvanic Energy and<br />
Optical Energy.<br />
These energies combine to give you a<br />
more efficient hair removal solution.<br />
Working together with 5 different<br />
energy levels, they open the skin pores<br />
and allow the light to reach<br />
the hair follicles without pain,<br />
irritation or ingrown hairs.<br />
This means that you can remove<br />
your hair up to twice as fast, and<br />
even do a full-body treatment in<br />
less than 20 minutes. With 400,000<br />
light pulses, you don't have to worry<br />
about cartridge refills either.<br />
Easy to use, the Silk'n Infinity is quick too -<br />
you can cover your whole body in less than 20<br />
minutes. Start your treatment a few months<br />
prior to the big day to ensure complete results.<br />
It's safe for dark and black skin on the lowest<br />
intensity levels too. Silk'n Infinity, £229,<br />

If you're needing some wax to banish a little<br />
bit of lip fuzz, it's essential you choose sensitive<br />
formulas - we recommend Jolen's specially<br />
formulated strips for sensitive skin which offer<br />
up to 4 weeks of results. Jolen Facial Wax<br />
Strips, £3.99, Available from Ocado<br />

BEAUTY<br />
SMELL THE ROSES<br />
Skincare with a beautiful scent is perfect for your<br />
wedding day - using it after the event will evoke<br />
special memories of the day. We love Elemis's Pro-Collagen<br />
Rose Facial Oil for a fresh dewy glow and their Pro-Collagen<br />
Rose Cleansing Balm for cleansed skin as smooth as a rose<br />
petal. Oil, £67 and Balm, £44, elemis.com<br />
The very radiance of a bride on<br />
her wedding day will have her<br />
looking amazing...but a little bit<br />
of groundwork is helpful to look<br />
and feel the absolute best. Here<br />
are our bridal beauty heroes...<br />
Some products can have a really<br />
quick transformative effect and we<br />
love the natural, ethical ranges<br />
from Grounded. Originally specialising in body scrubs made from<br />
coffee grounds, the brand has expanded to offer lots of skincare<br />
and beauty options. The scrubs help to moisturise, cleanse, tone,<br />
tighten and brighten skin and the great under eye pen gives<br />
an instant Vitamin C boost to awaken tired eyes. Chocolate<br />
Orange Body Scrub, £15, and Under Eye Serum with Collagen,<br />
Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid, £24.99, both avialable from<br />
groundedbodyscrub.co.uk<br />
VEGAN BEAUTY<br />
Perfect buys for the vegan bride<br />
- Codex Beauty’s first range, the<br />
Bia collection, is responsibly<br />
revolutionising how the world<br />
views and maintains optimal<br />
skin health using ancient herbal<br />
traditions, vegan formulations,<br />
unprecedented<br />
quality standards and<br />
pharmaceutical-grade<br />
manufacturing, science<br />
and transparency.<br />
We love the Bia<br />
Exfoliating Wash (£43)<br />
- A gentle everyday<br />
cleanser with exfoliating<br />
and polishing natural<br />
Jojoba grains, infused<br />
with Elderflower water,<br />
Grapefruit, Safflower<br />
and Milk Thistle Oils<br />
for both toning and<br />
cleansing benefits.<br />
And our ultimate allpurpose<br />
honeymoon buy is<br />
the Bia Skin Superfood (£48)<br />
- A hydrating and nourishing<br />
treatment cream for face,<br />
hands and body. Made with<br />
our unique BiaComplex<br />
herbal formula, this cream<br />
helps treat dry, flaky or<br />
irritated skin and leaves it<br />
silky smooth.<br />
